john deere 350c transmission and final drive oil question
im putting my 350c back togetherand im about to refill the transmission and final drives and i im not sure how to fill the final drives, and was wondering if the transmission and final drives are all one oil resavor.
If you are sure you have a "C" model and you are sure you have wet style clutches, then your transmission, clutch housings and final drives are all one common oil. It takes about 11 US gallons of tractor hydraulic fluid. I usually try to pour about 2 1/2 gallons in each clutch housing and the rest in the transmission fill / dipstick port. The system will slowly even itself out and the dipstick in the transmission should show it being full.

You mean if it has been modified to a common sump...correct? Otherwise you need to fill each one to capacity accordingly. Please correct me if I am wrong.LeonardL wrote:If you are sure you have a "C" model and you are sure you have wet style clutches, then your transmission, clutch housings and final drives are all one common oil.
